If you are entering Australia on a student visa, private health insurance is mandatory. This can be arranged for you through our insurance provider, Medibank, by the staff at UWA CELT. You will receive your insurance membership card approximately 2 weeks after your arrival.

If you are entering Australia on a visitor or working holiday visa, you will not be covered by Australia’s Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Therefore, we strongly recommend you arrange insurance cover for your stay in Australia.
